jbannon Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Excited about this record, so here is some info for all of you... -J. Brought to you by a partnership of Deathwish and Glitterhouse Records, release dates are as follows: April 29th: Deathwish Release Date (World) April 25th: Glitterhouse Release Date (Europe) Wovenhand is a band led by dedicated life-musician and lyricist, David Eugene Edwards. Over the last two decades, his prolific work in both Wovenhand and the legendary 16 Horsepower has influenced and inspired a generation of musicians throughout the expansive alternative music world. Wovenhand cannot be described in traditional terms. Their sound is an organic, weavework of neo-folk, post rock, punk, old-time, and alternative sounds. All coming together as a vehicle for David's soulful expression and constant spiritual self exploration. Sometimes sad and sorrowed and at other times uplifting, Wovenhand are always unforgettable in spirit and sound. "Refractory Obdurate" is the latest album from Wovenhand. Joining David on this album are longtime percussionist Ordy Garrison, along with musicians Chuck French and Neil Keener (Planes Mistaken For Stars, Git Some). "Refractory Obdurate" is a moving masterwork that shows Wovenhand exploring louder roots hinted at on prior albums. As they maintain their melodious course, "Good Shepherd", "Field of Hedon", and "Hiss", stomp forth with a newly amplified punk rock heart. While "The Refractory", "Salome", and "Obdurate Obscura" each ascend epically into a multi-layered haze. Ten songs in all, "Refractory Obdurate" plays as a beautifully crafted patchwork that transcends genres and expectation; a true artistic achievement, that only Wovenhand could offer. Track Listing: 01. Corsicana Clip 02. Masonic Youth 03. The Refractory 04. Good Shepherd 05. Salome 06. King David 07. Field of Hedon 08. Obdurate Obscura 09. Hiss 10.

radiatorhums Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I love the cover art for this and I love the variety of bands that are on Deathwish right now (and still seem to fit the overall feel of the label). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdb Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I love me some Wovenhand. I saw David Eugene Edwards play solo for about 50 people in a venue made for 500 and it was one of the most intense, powerful shows I've ever been to.

Crabwalker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 i liked HIss. ended up buying the album and then ended up going through the distro and spending too much money on random LPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anastasis Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 In for the red! So happy that one of my all-time favorite bands is getting a proper vinyl treatment. Hiss is the heaviest material I have ever heard out of DEE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
